Liverpool seal first WSL Merseyside derby win at Anfield with 2-0 victory over Everton

Liverpool finally beat Everton at Anfield

Liverpool secured a 2-0 win against Everton to hand the club their first WSL Merseyside derby victory at Anfield. Liverpool had previously lost eight of their nine WSL games played at Anfield, with five of those losses coming against Everton.

A looping header from Beata Olsson gave Gareth Taylor's side the perfect start in just the fourth minute. The Reds threatened throughout but were denied a second on two occasions due to the stoic defensive performance of Ruby Mace in midfield, blocking Natalia Ramos' goal-bound shot and clearing Cornelia Kapocs' effort off the line.

Kapocs would not be denied on the second time of asking, however, as she swept home the second to seal the win with just under five minutes to go.
